Abstract EN
We present a feasibility study of a novel hybrid brain-computer interface (BCI) system for advanced functional electrical therapy (FET) of grasp.
FET procedure is improved with both automated stimulation pattern selection and stimulation triggering.
The proposed hybrid BCI comprises the two BCI control signals: steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) and event-related desynchronization (ERD).
The sequence of the two stages, SSVEP-BCI and ERD-BCI, runs in a closed-loop architecture.
The first stage, SSVEP-BCI, acts as a selector of electrical stimulation pattern that corresponds to one of the three basic types of grasp: palmar, lateral, or precision.
In the second stage, ERD-BCI operates as a brain switch which activates the stimulation pattern selected in the previous stage.
The system was tested in 6 healthy subjects who were all able to control the device with accuracy in a range of 0.64–0.96.
The results provided the reference data needed for the planned clinical study.
This novel BCI may promote further restoration of the impaired motor function by closing the loop between the “will to move” and contingent temporally synchronized sensory feedback.
